<p>EPIC Ireland is the new Irish diaspora museum. It brings to life the story of how Ireland&#39;s people spread around the globe &amp; how they changed the world.</p>

<p>Housed in the chq&nbsp;Building&nbsp;in the IFSC, a historic stone and iron warehouse, built in 1820, this state-of-the-art visitor attraction tells the EPIC story of the Irish people&rsquo;s dispersal throughout the world over the ages.</p>

<p>Visitors will be taken on a journey that starts on the island of Ireland and ends with the global presence of the Irish today.</p>

<p>The exhibition is spread across 20 immersive and interactive galleries, and the aim is to bring to life the story of Ireland&rsquo;s communities overseas - past, present and future &ndash; in a way that is highly entertaining, engaging and educational.</p>
